Make friends of God's children; help those who are weak, forgetting in nothing his blessing to seek. 2 Take time to be holy; the world rushes on; spend much time in secret with Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, like him thou shalt be; thy friends in thy conduct his likeness shall see. 3 Take time to be holy; let him be thy guide, and run not before him, whatever betide. In joy or in sorrow, still follow thy Lord, and, looking to Jesus, still trust in his word. 4 Take time to be holy; be calm in thy soul; each thought and each motive beneath his control. Thus led by his Spirit to fountains of love, thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.

To you they went, the blind, the mute, the palsied and the lame, the leper set apart and shunned, the sick with fevered frame. 2 And then your touch brought life and health, gave speech and strength and sight; and youth renewed, with health restored, claimed you, the Lord of light. And so, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty now as then, in every street, in every home, in every troubled friend. 3 O be our mighty healer still, O Lord of life and death; restore and strengthen, soothe and bless with your almighty breath. On hands that work and eyes that see, your healing wisdom pour, that whole and sick and weak and strong may praise you evermore. Topics: Healing; Epiphany (season) Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL'S

I love the volume of thy word

Author: Watts Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: John 5:39 Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of thy word; What light and joy those leaves afford To souls benighted and distressed! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, Thy fear forbids my feet to stray, Thy promise leads my heart to rest. 2 From the discoveries of thy law, Thy perfect rules of life I draw: These are my study and delight; Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that has the furnace passed, Appears so pleasing to the sight. 3 Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God! forgive my secret faults, And from presumptuous sins restrain; Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read thy book of grace, And book of nature, not in vain.
